all his neighbors have extensive fields

Nowhere in this country can picklesfbe

Origin of the Blue Book.

Peter Force, New York journeyman
printer, came to Washington in 1915,
became the proprietor of n printing Of
fee, and originated, and for some years
compiled without charge, the Biennial
Reg ter" better known from the color
u Us .ndinge as the "Blue Book" OF
when the Government purchased
small number of copies. Fond OF
American history, he in time collected q
large quantity of rare books and pam
phlets, many of which had been thrown
away from the executive departments as
rubbish, and purchased by him of the
dealers in waste paper. In 1888 he
originated the idea of compiling and
publishing documentary history of the
country under the title of 'The Ameri-
can Archives" and in order to secure
the necessary appropriation from Con-
gress he associated himself with Mat
thew st. Clair Clarke, the Clerk of the
House of Representatives. This publ
cation was 10y which distributed
considerable sums of money, for mum
Der of years, among the politicians at
Washington, but it was the only way
in which Mr.. Force could carry out his
plan, and he was not enriched by it.
He was instinctively gentleman and
worthy diciple of Faust tall. stalwart,
with bushy head of hair and keen
eyes, which would beam with Joy when
anyone brought him rare autograh or
pamphlet The simplicity of his man
ners, bearing an expression of the gen.
tleness and purity of his heart, made
him beloved, as we'll as revered, by all
who knew him. After his death Con-
gress purchased his collection of books
and manuscripts, and it now graces the

A Fishy Shark Story.

A Florida pilot tells big stories of the
sharks which abound in the sea between
Pensacola and Fort Pickens and the un-
fortunate sailors and soldiers they have
eaten up. "Pd just as soon try TO swim

from Pensacola TO Fort Pickens." The
sharks would be sure TO get him. I've

ESTABLISH A MINT.

The CHRoNICLE has mildly suggested
in times gone by, that Montana should
have a mint, and it takes this opportun-
ity TO re iterate its suggestions and urge
the legislature at this special session, to
memorialize congress TO this effect. The
urgent nceds of Montana shonld not he
overlooked. We need, above all things,
mint. Montana has now assumed first
place as mineral producer, by reason of
the vast extent of her mineral deposits,
the remarkable richness and enormous
size of her gold, silver and copper veins,
which mus necessarily engage The ener-
gy and ingenuity of man for years to
come. The hr-iamed silver city, Butte,
should be the site selected for the mint,
that the great and growing northwest
can be speedily accommodated with
coin. This proposition should commend
itself to the government; it is economic
al, saving the unnecessary expense of
express transportation on the coin from
far eastern mints. Butte, the greatest
mineral producer of any section on the
globe, has and always will have vast
AMI uneuualled facilities for the rcduc-
tion of ores, thus it naturally becomes
the great dumping ground for all the
ores of the surrounding country. This
fact readily recommends it as the
proper place for such an institution.
With the completion of the Bozeman
and Butte Short Line, a new and very
rich gold d-producing section will pour its

CITY HALL.

The CHRONICLE, at the time the pres
ent site for the city hall was pur.
chased, interposed its protest, and
still believes that the councilmen who
decided by their votes that the present
site should be purchased at an expense
of IS, 800, when the ground and exrava-
tions at point where location was at
least equally acceptable, were offered
free, did not do credit to themselves or
represent their constituency. But their
act has become past history, and while
many will never cease to complain of
the apparent injustice, we are willing to
let by-gones be by-gones, if the council
will proceed with the erection of build.
ing such as they have outlined and is
fully described in our local columns. 1t
is an imposing structure that will cost
$25 90, and will be an ornament to the
queen city, where our city officers and
firemen cab occupy suitable and commo-
dious quarters, and where entertain
ments calculated TO drive away the
tedium of business cares of ery.day
life can be witnessed with comfort and
high enjoyment. There is only one sug.
gestion that the CHRONICLE has to offer
in connection with the construction of
the building, and that is outlined in its
suggestion when the building was first
under contemplation. According to
present plans, the opera house floor will
be level for the purpose, no doubt, of
hall for dancing purposes.
In all well'constructed opera houses the
chairs are fastened to a floor which has
a gradual incline. This should be done
in this instance, as we are creditably
informed that a rise of half or three
quarters of an inch to the foot will not
effect the interior plans of the building
to a perceptible extent or increase the
cost of construction, Other halls are at
hand for dancing purposes, and should it
be absolutely necessary that the opera
house be used for this purpose, level.
folding door can be put in, that will rest
on horses above the stationary seats.
